I'm afraid exactly, Docter. What's my goodness? 164 00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:01.480 Trade? 165 00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:04.720 You don't add imagination to your other great qualities. But 166 00:09:04.799 --> 00:09:06.720 if you could, for one moment put yourself in this 167 00:09:06.840 --> 00:09:09.519 young man's place, would you choose the very knight the 168 00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:12.399 will had been signed to commit your crime? Wouldn't it 169 00:09:12.399 --> 00:09:14.840 seem dangerous to you to make so very close a 170 00:09:14.919 --> 00:09:16.600 relation between the two incidents? 171 00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:17.000 Well? 172 00:09:17.200 --> 00:09:19.200 Would you choose an occasion when you are known to 173 00:09:19.240 --> 00:09:20.679 be in the house by the servant. 174 00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:21.039 Who'd let you in? 175 00:09:21.759 --> 00:09:24.399 And would you really take the greatest pains to conceal 176 00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:28.000 the body and yet leave your own stick lying about 177 00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:31.039 as a sign that you were the criminal? Confess the strade. 178 00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:33.440 It's all very unlikely if you know as well as 179 00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:35.200 I do that the criminal is often. 180 00:09:34.919 --> 00:09:37.200 Flooded and does things that cool memer a void. 181 00:09:38.399 --> 00:09:41.960 Suppose some tramp lurking in the garden had seen the documents, 182 00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:44.039 stare in the room with a safe wide open and 183 00:09:44.080 --> 00:09:47.440 papers all over the table except the solicitor enter the tramp. 184 00:09:47.840 --> 00:09:49.200 He seizes the stick, which. 185 00:09:49.000 --> 00:09:52.720 He finds there kills Oldacre, burns his body and the pasts. 186 00:09:52.879 --> 00:09:55.519 But why should a tramp burn the body? Why should 187 00:09:55.519 --> 00:09:56.120 not fall in? 188 00:09:56.320 --> 00:09:57.320 Yet? It is some evidence. 189 00:09:57.480 --> 00:09:59.879 Possibly the tramp wanted to conceal the fact that anym 190 00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:02.440 that all had been committed. Why did the tramp take 191 00:10:02.519 --> 00:10:04.120 nothing because he found they were just papers? 192 00:10:04.159 --> 00:10:08.000 He couldn't negotiate. Well, mister Holmes, you look for your tramp. 193 00:10:08.919 --> 00:10:11.960 Just remember one thing, though, so far as is known, 194 00:10:12.279 --> 00:10:15.600 none of those papers were removed.

I quite appreciate your distress, the poor 271 00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:19.200 dear master. And this is Nexington. What handed you yourself? 272 00:14:19.320 --> 00:14:23.360 Retired a bit o past tender? After I hear where 273 00:14:23.360 --> 00:14:24.759 there's some things that washed up? 274 00:14:24.919 --> 00:14:26.039 And where is your woman? 275 00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:28.320 A relation of mister dass suddenly and. 276 00:14:28.440 --> 00:14:32.000 Then there I heard nothing of what happened to me? 277 00:14:32.159 --> 00:14:33.240 What work you a ben? 278 00:14:34.120 --> 00:14:37.039 The people hanging on the door with the enarmed fire, 279 00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:43.840 I'd dressing a bitself. I could smell the flesh, but sop. 280 00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:45.519 You was. 281 00:14:47.080 --> 00:14:54.399 Super quind amazing to think of her sleeping right to 282 00:14:54.480 --> 00:14:58.159 a death struggle. And they're true, Watson. I feel it 283 00:14:58.240 --> 00:15:00.639 in my bones that there's something that can come out. 284 00:15:00.879 --> 00:15:02.919 I could read it in her eyes, that sort of 285 00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:06.879 sulky defiance, which only goes with a guilty knowledge. But 286 00:15:07.240 --> 00:15:10.120 unless some lucky chance comes our way, I fear that 287 00:15:10.200 --> 00:15:12.679 the case of the Norwood Builder will not figure in 288 00:15:12.759 --> 00:15:16.919 the chronicle of our successes. That's true, I wish I 289 00:15:16.960 --> 00:15:21.039 could suggest something Halms. There is one curious little point. 290 00:15:22.039 --> 00:15:25.240 I examined Odata's bank book amongst the other papers. His 291 00:15:25.440 --> 00:15:27.559 balance struck me as rather small for a man, as 292 00:15:27.600 --> 00:15:30.360 such means. So I looked back to the entries during 293 00:15:30.399 --> 00:15:32.799 the last year. I found that a number of large 294 00:15:32.919 --> 00:15:35.840 checks had been made out of a mister Cornelius who 295 00:15:36.000 --> 00:15:39.200 he I don't know. His name doesn't appear in any 296 00:15:39.240 --> 00:15:39.960 of the documents. 297 00:15:41.159 --> 00:15:44.399 Kelly, But what is it? 298 00:15:44.519 --> 00:15:44.720 Does it? 299 00:15:44.799 --> 00:15:45.120 Hudson? 300 00:15:45.480 --> 00:15:47.200 A telegram for you at homes? 301 00:15:47.559 --> 00:15:58.720 Oh? Thank you? Hm? Is there a reply, sir, h No, no, 302 00:15:58.960 --> 00:16:07.840 thank you. Well that appears to be that from the trade. 303 00:16:08.279 --> 00:16:13.960 Yes, important fresh evidence to hand. Mcfarlin's gilt definitely established. 304 00:16:14.360 --> 00:16:19.399 Advise you to abandon the cases. It's Lustrade's little cocker 305 00:16:19.480 --> 00:16:23.759 doodle of victory. Serious and yet it may be premature 306 00:16:23.879 --> 00:16:27.799 to abandon the case. Important fresh evidence could be a 307 00:16:27.919 --> 00:16:30.919 two edged thing. It may just possibly cut in a 308 00:16:31.039 --> 00:16:34.879 very different direction from the onedustraded magion. Coming on, My 309 00:16:34.960 --> 00:16:37.480 dear fellow, I feel in need of your company and 310 00:16:37.639 --> 00:16:41.320 model support. Today we will go out to Norwood and 311 00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:52.120 see what we can do. I formed no conclusion or 312 00:16:52.200 --> 00:16:52.919 ever austrade. 313 00:16:53.159 --> 00:16:56.200 Instead, this way, gentlemen, I think I could convince you 314 00:16:56.360 --> 00:17:00.279 once and for all. See this headback, Yes, well, where 315 00:17:00.320 --> 00:17:02.200 young m Farler must have come out to get. 316 00:17:02.080 --> 00:17:07.839 His hat after the crime was done. Now I'll strike 317 00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:10.920 a light so gloomy and here. 318 00:17:12.480 --> 00:17:14.839 Now look at this. 319 00:17:16.480 --> 00:17:22.079 A fingerprint eat blood, actually a thumb print, doctor, look 320 00:17:22.119 --> 00:17:23.559 at it through your limbs and stones. 321 00:17:23.880 --> 00:17:27.359 Yes, I'm doing so. You are aware that those two 322 00:17:27.359 --> 00:17:31.240 thumbprints are alike. I have said something of the kind. 323 00:17:32.000 --> 00:17:35.480 I let's hold this next to it, the wax impression 324 00:17:35.559 --> 00:17:38.519 of mcfallen's thumb, taken by my orders this morning. 325 00:17:39.640 --> 00:17:50.279 Hmm, that's final. Yes, that's final. It did final. But 326 00:17:50.400 --> 00:17:52.559 what a providential thing that this young man. 327 00:17:52.519 --> 00:17:54.880 Should press his right thumb against the wall and taking 328 00:17:54.960 --> 00:17:59.200 his hat from the bags. A bit natural action too. Oh, 329 00:17:59.279 --> 00:18:03.039 by the way, he who made this remarkable discovery? It 330 00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:05.920 was a housekeeper, missus Lexington. But why didn't the police 331 00:18:05.960 --> 00:18:09.119 see this mark earlier? I suppose there is no doubt 332 00:18:09.160 --> 00:18:10.920 that it was there earlier. 333 00:18:11.160 --> 00:18:14.160 Eh. Oh, well, I'll be about the place if you 334 00:18:14.240 --> 00:18:16.319 want me. I've got a report to get on. 335 00:18:16.440 --> 00:18:20.160 With the points about this development that hold us some 336 00:18:20.400 --> 00:18:23.920 new hopes for him. What I'm like to hear that 337 00:18:24.200 --> 00:18:28.319 you see there's one really serious flaw in this new discovery. 338 00:18:29.119 --> 00:18:30.440 What is it on? It is? 339 00:18:31.000 --> 00:18:33.759 But I know that thumb print was not there when 340 00:18:33.799 --> 00:18:35.200 I examined this hall earlier. 341 00:18:35.440 --> 00:18:38.279 Good question, Now come along.
